On Sunday, Spartak Noginsk beat Dynamo Moscow 65-59 as they lead the teams trying to claw their way out of the bottom portion of the standings. UMMC jumped out to a big lead on Dynamo Kursk in Ekaterinburg, holding on to an 82-73 win to stay unbeaten. The star trio of Alba Torrens, Brittney Griner, and Diana Taurasi made sure that Lindsey Harding and company could not mount a comeback. Nadezdha is also unbeaten after a 72-61 win at Spartak Moscow as a better backcourt and more balance helped DeWanna Bonner and Anna Cruz beat the young frontcourt of Maria Vadeeva and Emma Meesseman. Britney Jones and Anete Steinberga led Chevakata past Kazanochka 87-72 in Vologda. Kayla Alexander and Miah-Marie Langlois out-dueled their counterparts, Noemie Mayombo and Jennifer Hamson, but did not get enough help as Dynamo-GUVD lost 83-69 against Enisey in Krasnoyarsk.
